*I just found this out folks...*
PLEASE TAKE NOTE! This should be sent to _ALL_ your E-mail addressees.
Just a word to the wise, E-mail petitions are_ NOT_ acceptable to
Congress or any other municipality. To be acceptable petitions must have
a/_ signed_/ signature and full address. Almost all e-mails that ask you
to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass
letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little
kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the
most cards. All it was, and all this type of e-mail is, is to get names
and "cookie" tracking info for tele-marketers and spammers to validate
active e-mail accounts for their own purposes. Any time you see an
e-mail that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, sign this
petition, or you'll get good luck, or whatever, has either an e-mail
tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and e-mails of those
folks you forward to, or the host sender is getting a copy each time it
gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of "active" e-mails to use
in spam e-mails, or sell to others that do.
Please forward this notice to others and you will be providing a good
service to your friends and will be rewarded by_ not getting_ 30,000
spam e-mails in the future.
